  • Resumen

  • The Pinch Me Pod – an MDT approach to delirium in hospital settings This is the ‘Pinch Me Pod’, a podcast resource from the Northern Health and Social Care Trust, to help explore the topic of delirium in detail, and what the multidisciplinary team can do to recognise and manage delirium in the hospital setting. Dr Stephen Collins, Doctor in Elderly Care Medicine, hosts this podcast series, alongside a panel of staff from across the acute hospitals in Antrim and Causeway, in Northern Ireland. Over the course of six episodes, we explore what delirium looks like for us in our own day-to-day work and the significant impact this condition has on patients, families and staff. As well as the lessons we have learned, we also discuss lots of tips on how you might be able to improve the level of care you provide to patients with delirium in your own work setting. We hope that this podcast will begin to answer some of the questions you may have and help you navigate the medical minefield that delirium can sometimes feel like.

  • The Pinch Me Pod - What is Delirium?
    Jul 23 2024

    In this episode, we explore what delirium is and why it is so common in the patients that we see across our hospitals. We talk about assessment and what we can do to recognise and diagnose delirium early with a focus on ‘SQID’ and the 4AT, outlined in the Regional Delirium care pathway.

    We refer to the ‘PINCH ME’ mnemonic to help us consider the most common causes of delirium and to help us better understand and support our patients who may be experiencing this often frightening and distressing condition. We also explore questions such as ‘how can someone who is normally as sharp as a tack be so suddenly thrown off by this condition?’ as well as exploring the impact of delirium on someone living with dementia, and then finally discussing where mental capacity comes into all of this and are people with delirium able to make decisions for themselves.

    We look for forward to catching up with you in our next episode where we explore the triggers for delirium and what causes this unsettling confusional state.
